Graduate employers can launch short recruitment campaigns on Milkround within 24 hours thanks to a new self-service advertising portal.

Milkround Recruiters Direct is aimed at providing SMEs with a cost-effective solution to attract the best student or graduate talent for their business, and will be an asset for larger firms looking to fill internship and adhoc roles quickly.

The cost of a two week campaign starts at &pound320 which includes a branded company profile, job listing and targeted email to Milkround’s exclusive database of 700,000 students and graduates.

Hiring managers can log into Milkround Recruiters Direct to set up or edit their company profile and publish their vacancies. They can take full control of the recruitment process, choosing how they would like to receive applications, as well as viewing statistics on each vacancy.

The service is aimed at smaller companies who can now take advantage of posting their vacancies on & lsquo;the most widely used graduate recruitment site*’ at a more cost-effective rate.

Rachel Johnson, Interim General Manager at Milkround says: “Milkround has been at the forefront of UK graduate recruitment for more than a decade, so we’re very excited about our new product launch, making graduate recruitment advertising more accessible to the SME market. Companies can now take advantage of this new feature, making their recruitment cost effective to an audience of up to 550,000 visitors a month.”
